Waits
By Shih chiang Tang

I've been waiting, sitting in front of this box that connects you to me,
I've been waiting since the breakfast dumpling lost it heat,
Since I heard Chris Brown sang Excuse'me,
Since I came home and sat in this exact seat.

I know about your schedule,
Your plans for the day,
Yet I greedily want you with me,
As part of me never leaves you, but fears that you cannot see.

My thoughts are with you, the day, the night,
And all those dreaming moments, nay, seconds,
I'm here waiting.

Numb of the world, I only wish for you,
Like fire to the moths,
I know you may burn me, but yet your beauty made me defy all logic,
At this moment I understand fear, pain and love all together.

I fear that I will still be alone after these few days, these couple thousand minuets,
I feel the pain of not being able to say a simple good night to you,
Yes, by that alone defies logic, how can such little words now seem like the world to me,
I feel my love for you, oh how much love I have for you.

It's twelve am now,
Sleepless,
Typing a poem that will never be read,
Just so I can find a way to type out the feelings inside me,
Some of the couple million 'I love you's,
So I may rest my head on my pillow, thinking of the other thousand words I want to use.

I love you,
I love you,
I love you,
Please do excuse my staleness, but that's what I sincerely feel,
Remember that I keep on asking you to remember?
Its because of I fear that you’ll forget,
The pointless little words you tell me, that means the world to me.
